Get to it!

Nintendo's 3DS Ambassador program has just gone live in North America with 10 free NES games available to download.

The games — which were scheduled to be released tomorrow — are available to download for eligible 3DS owners. As a reminder, here's what's available:

Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda
Ice Climber
Balloon Fight
Donkey Kong Jr.
Wrecking Crew
NES Open Tournament Golf
Yoshi
Metroid
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

Here's how to download the games:

1 — Enter the eShop from the 3DS Home Menu. It's the icon with the bag on it.

2 — Scroll to the far left and select "Settings / Other".

3 — Scroll down and select "Your Downloads"

4 — The games will appear here once ready for download, alongside software you've already downloaded. You don't need to download these again, just the NES games.

5 — Select the NES game you want to download, select Software Info and then Redownload.

6 — Your NES game should now begin downloading!

Nintendo has warned that due to the large numbers of people attempting to download these games, you may experience longer than usual download times. Have patience, and soon the games will be yours.

Don't forget to download the 3DS Ambassador Certificate while you're at it to stay informed about upcoming Ambassador information.

You already made a topic, I don't see why you'd need another....

because this is announcing that they were released early. the other topic can be closed if neccesary. sorry if it's a problem.

[YamI]

Its not exactly a problem to me, I'm just a member, but all I'm asking is a question. Thank you for answering, but released early is US? Thats not Canada, so it don't interest me that much.

really? didn't know canada's releases were that different from the US. sorry about that. but canada does have something US doesn't. brian provinciano. http://retrocityrampage.com/ heh, now that one looks fun.

anyway, i reported my other topic, so hopefully a mod will remove it soon.

[YamI]

They aren't That different, but a little, yeah. We get our stuff shipped in at later dates cause we are further away from You guys, but yeah...

Also your BBC code didn't work...

[Naner]

I think it should be working in Canada. It's a digital download, so shipping has nothing to do with it. Even us Brazilians already got the games.

The real issue here is that you're not a 3DS owner - let alone ambassador. That's why this issue doesn't concern you.

[YamI]

Exactly, I'm not a 3DS owner, YET. There will be a time (probably in a few days) when I will own a 3DS.

well, if you're going to wait, why not go for the new color? unless red isn't your thing. i got blue myself.

[YamI]

I'm most likely going to get a skin for my 3DS if anything, so colors wouldn't matter on my end.

i haven't seen any good metroid cases, but capcom had one with mega man X and, get this, knight man. what the $%^&? however, there are some good OOT 3D ones available at gamestop.

oh wait, i just realized, you meant the stick on kind. well, gamestops should have some mario ones. i've never seen any from metroid, but if you have a printer, you could see if there are any templates for 3DS skins out there, pick up some sticker paper, and print your own.

EDIT: thinking about it now, the 3DS dimensions aren't "too" different from the DS Lite/DSi, so you could maybe start there. print out a test skin on normal paper, and figure out the size difference and button spacing you'd need to account for. and of course, there's the pesky placement of the power button.

here's a tip though. don't print nothing you wouldn't mind losing color on, unless you intend to reprint it. i've had the stick on kind before, and after about 20/30 hours of play, you could see where my hands usualy go.

[YamI]

Well yeah, thats what I meant, Skins are what go on the system. I'm getting a Metroid skin for my wii soon, See:

most impressive er... sir? madam? either way, me likey dat skin on the wii.
